From: XIII_rocks | #098 Also Ex I am all over nifty fifties. You should rejoin UCA and that can be our tagteam name.
hahaha I don't think I could muster up the interest, tbqh. Though that would be a great tag team name. I don't think that's going to last past today though.

I would be able to ride on your coat-tails to, like, a million-year tag-team reign. it would be amazing.
-Tofa7- posted... I've got the feeling the casuals who are still perfect in the battle challenge are visiting board 8 each day to find out who the favorite is. This is just getting ridiculous. I hope there's an upset and 99% of you get wiped.
Since I feel like this statement is directed at people like me, as a lurker for the past ~4 years, I feel like its more just a reflection on how easy this contest has to pick so far. The only match so far where Board 8's opinion caused me to change was on taking Bosses>Tidus/Jecht in Round 1 and 2, and I highly doubt only casuals are guilty of changing one pick because of someone else's opinion.
Samus has been averaging under 52% since the end of the Power Hour.
This will basically end up being X/Zero vs. Sub-Zero/Scorpion part 2 where the Bosses pretty much make Samus look terrible but they never seriously threaten to win.
I didn't expect Samus to be more frontloaded than the Pokemon Trainers. She's going to end up falling more percentage points (maybe 2% more) while starting from a lower percentage.

For the first five minutes of the poll, the totals are constantly updated. After that, they only update in five minute intervals. That first stoppage is the freeze.
For the first five minutes of each poll, there's live updates - if you sit on the poll results page and F5 you will see the votes come in as they're made. Then it "freezes" and only displays updates every five minutes.

Wow Samus is still at almost 56% in North America... Was getting slightly hopeful since the Bosses still have like 4 hours of night vote but that's just too high in NA.

I didn't expected this match to be that close.Also only 12 perfects remain?Man.Plus it seems the casuals beat the pros!I mean Trainers/Fighters match was the worst,33 people fell of the leaderboard!And there was a guy there called Safer_777?That reminds me of something...

I don't know how much of this is the Bosses being strong compared to Samus being weak though. I thought it was Terra/Kefka becoming legit last round, but 53% on the bosses is an entirely different beast, maybe Samus is becoming much weaker than she used to be, because I don't believe you can throw all the blame on Ridley, he's no Waluigi.

#Again it's not an individual character contest Samus on her own >>>> Samus/Ridley.
Also her being individually weaker isn't surprising..did people forget a game that came out that literally put Metroid down to Sonic level of embarrassment? That game left a bad taste if fans mouths. I wouldn't surprised if she is individual weaker next year.
People said the biggest contribution to Cloud>ink in 03 was Toon link. Now can you imagine Samus vs someone like MEgaman a character she would beat handily...but it's a teenage pic of her with short hair with thumbs down from Other M.
I know Other M wasn't very well received, but I didn't think it could have that much impact. Samus might be >>> Samus/Ridley, but this big gap between Samley and 2010 Samus, I can't believe it's all Other M and Ridley being an anchor.
Don't panic about this for Samus as an individual. Naked Snake Big Boss put 37% on Mario in a night match last character battle. Ridley might lose to The Boss straight-up, and then RIVALRY FACTOR. Leon isn't losing to Donkey Kong any time soon, but Ada Wong certainly made it look that way, and she probably actually beats K. Rool straight-up. If Wolf can drag down Fox, and Meta-Knight can drag down Kirby, Ridley can drag down Samus. This is the same guy who got 57-43ed by Diablo.
Samus is established enough to not be hurt by a bad game, at least not enough to fall any further than being in the #3-6 overall range, where she was anyways.

And the rivalry factor. IT's not that great of a rivlary really. Also we know metroid on this site isn't anywhere near as strong as a franchise asn Samus character. Samus gets strength from a lot of aspects.
- Smash Bros - Only legit female Nintendo character - Her respectable Game series - Badass image.
When you combine these factors it's not surprising to see Samley struggle. Samus/Ridley isn't going to get the same votals as Samus the character.
And when she had "bad" pics she turned to crap...i mean Tifa almost beat her in the female contest. If she has an "other M" pic, her strength would go down a lot,
To say other M wasn't received well is an understatement. A chunk of the metroid fanbase hate the game with passion.
Samus getting the morning vote here? She's already gained half a percent from her low point. These trends aren't normal for Samus, as she not good with the morning vote or ASV.

Eh, fair enough. I didn't expect Samus to go 60+% on the bosses for sure, that would be foolish. But I thought a comfortable 55/45 win was within her reach, and it still wouldn't have been enough to give the trainers a fight. Unless the trainers' run was an enormous fluke, this team will look like garbage in the next round.
